You'll Never Blue Ball In This Town Again: One Woman's Painfully Funny Quest To Give It Up (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
This book made me feel "blue-balled". It was terrible! I read Heather's latest novel (My Inappropriate Life: Some Material Not Suitable for Small Children, Nuns, or Mature Adults) before reading this one. Her other novel was better and funnier than this one, though I only gave the other one 3 stars. Heather is funny, but I thought the stories would be funnier in this book - the stories of Heather's 20's and how she remained a virgin for most of them. This book rambles on and on like a big run on sentence. While Heather is funny, her co-worker Chelsea Handler & her books are a lot funnier, sorry Heather. What a letdown. Like probably most people, I had never heard of Heather McDonald before Chelsea Handler's late night talk show. Then I went to see Chelsea live once when she was on tour and Heather McDonald was the opening act. Heather does very well at stand-up comedy and her storytelling, so it made me go out and buy her book(s). In this, her first crack at a humor book, her thoughts tend to ramble and get off track, but she does bring you back to the original story and finish it, so you're not left hanging. Or, in this case, blue balling.The title of the book, obviously, plays on the popular "You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again" book title. Unlike Chelsea's first tell-all about her sexual exploits, Heather McDonald's is quite the opposite. Instead, she tells of all of her bad dating experiences, waiting to give up her virginity to the right guy. When she finally does, it's not very climactic (pun intended), but the stories leading up to it are quite interesting and humorous nonetheless.Many people reading this book probably won't be able to relate to being a tall, skinny, pretty woman who grew up wealthy in and around L.A. However, that doesn't prevent you from enjoying the tales. They're just not tales or experiences "we" would never have. Although the novel didn't have a lot of true laugh-out-loud moments, it was a quick, light, fun read that certainly kept me entertained and amused.
